Folks, as you read the following, bear in mind this bit of development. Starting very recently, the World Science Festival has started giving Planck boss Jan Tauber a place in the sun. He will be featured in the festival this summer also. He will get to swing his cute butt on the stage alongside Hollywood glitterati, media celebrities, New York socialites, the science popularizing gurus and so on. Is this a big American “Thank you!” to the Europeans for services rendered?

What chance does the world have against gigantic science fraud backed by America and Europe in a military-style alliance?!

And where is the super-righteous and super-vocal American physics establishment while all this is going on right within their own home? Cat got their tongue?

I mean, does anyone understand the gravity of this situation for the scientific civilization? Does anyone understand why I go on and on?

The reason why no honest objective voice is arising from within the establishment is fear – pure and simple. Fear of repercussions, of course. The Big Bang-ers are very powerful people with very powerful friends. But more importantly, it is the fear of losing out on goodies. Most every research physicist is bucking for some prize or other. If they are seen to be associating with me, they will get on the bad side of the Nobel Committee, the Kavli Committee, the Milner Committee, the Breakthrough Committee, the Gruber Committee, the Shaw Committee, the Kyoto Committee, the Templeton Committee, …. Need I go on? Much better to keep one’s mouth shut, watch the circus and let events take their course. If I prevail (i.e. if truth prevails), they will swiftly move in to claim the credit without acknowledging my existence. It will be said that Big Bang is being replaced through a normal, healthy scientific evolution. There the media will help spread the good word. If I am destroyed (i.e. if evil wins), they will rejoice. There the media will help spread the good word.

The CBS television show THE BIG BANG THEORY – comedy though it may be – is thickly spreading utter scientific rubbish all around the world – from Timbuktu to Tuktoyaktuk. A UCLA professor named David Saltzberg – acting in behalf of the physics establishment – is giving false scientific advice (e.g. passing off the scam discovery of gravitational waves as correct science) to the makers of the show, helping corrupt the world.

BICEP2 and Keck Array are two separate telescope units at the South Pole. They use exactly the same imaging technique.

(a). If the two telescopes report exactly the same image of exactly the same part of the sky, the image may be an artifact of measurement or truly “on the sky.” We cannot tell without more information.

(b). If the two images are different, they are unambiguously instrumental artifacts. We do not need any more information.

Now compare the skymaps:

Historically, Big Bang cosmologists have talked their way out of a hundred jams. Don’t let them bs their way out of this one!

You will recall that one of the fatal problems with BICEP2 I identified was that its imaging plane antenna elements were far closer together than the ultimate resolution of electromagnetic wave ( ~ one-third the wavelength – a basic physics limitation.) How did this situation come about?

There is now this paper which explains how the spacing was calculated.Here is the relevant portion:

This paper explains that the antenna spacing was determined inside a wafer of quartz above the antenna slots, with a dielectric constant of 11.8. The thickness of the wafer appears to be about one free space wavelength. The slots are much smaller than one wavelength.

By using the grating lobe criterion they find that the minimum spacing at 180 GHz should be 0.46 mm.

But this calculation is wrong. The dielectric constant that needed to be used in the above calculation is that of air (=1.0). Then the spacing would 1.6 mm – which would have avoided the spacing fatality issue I raised.

Planck Collaboration is the name of the scientific team behind the Planck Satellite, belonging to the European Space Agency (ESA). The satellite operates at nine discrete frequencies that were carefully chosen to hug the COBE Satellite 2.7 K blackbody spectrum.

The first results from the Planck Satellite were released in 2013. One of the very first calculations they would have made is the absolute intensity in the sky at each of the nine frequencies. In other words, the very first result they obtained – the result that would underpin all subsequent results – was the CMB radiation spectrum. It was expected by the Big Bang establishment to mimic the COBE Satellite blackbody spectrum.

Planck Collaboration would release a great deal of data and scientific results after that. However, they never ever released that spectrum which was to confirm the COBE spectrum. The reason is most obvious: It did not confirm the COBE spectrum. On the contrary, it solidly disproved the COBE spectrum and thus falsified Big Bang Theory.

Nor did Planck Collaboration release the skymaps in total intensity (the anisotropy skymaps released being in differential intensity.)

It may be that buried somewhere in the data files they have released there is information to construct the missing spectrum and the skymaps. That would place Planck Collaboration technically in the clear from the charge of suppressing negative data. But why would they engage in such a subterfuge?

Having suppressed the all important spectrum, Planck Collaboration then proceeded as though Big Bang were fully intact, and made all kinds of pronouncements about the Big Bang early Universe.

In sum, Planck Collaboration started to scam in order to cover up the COBE Satellite fraud in particular and the Big Bang scam in general.

V-13.2 Planck Collaboration and BICEP2 Collaboration

When the BICEP2 matter came along, everyone looked to Planck Collaboration for support. There was the issue of how much of the BICEP2 B-Mode signal was due to the deep background CMB and how much of it was due to the foreground galactic dust. For the BICEP2 discovery to stand, it was necessary to demonstrate that the latter contribution was minor. And only Planck Collaboration had the data bearing on the foreground emission.

This was the issue as it was presented to the public. But it was not the real issue. The real issue was that the BICEP2 B-Mode results were the result of total instrumental botch up. The B-Mode sky swirls were artifactual.

Planck Collaboration, a part of ESA, had access to the most advanced engineering knowhow in the field. Therefore they, if anyone, would know that BICEP2 was an instrumental botch up. Therefore, they would not engage in such a collaboration with BICEP2 that averred that the BICEP2 data were scientifically sound.

But they did. They showed that the foreground was the dominant contribution. This made the BICEP2 discovery of the primordial gravitational waves go away, but solidly confirmed that BICEP2 was the first instrument to observe B-Mode swirls in the sky. Planck Collaboration knowingly covered up the BICEP2 botch up.

Sure enough, Planck Satellite has acquired very high quality, highly valuable data. But as long as this treasure trove is considered the domain of Big Bang, everyone else would feel excluded, not welcome. The treasure trove would remain private property. The lasting legacy of Planck Satellite will be that they repeatedly covered up American botch ups.
